Awww, I bet Andrea will treasure your pages/album! What a great keepsake you are making! Love the poem...and love the 'cookie' grandma vs prune grandma! LOL :D
What a gorgeous tribute!! She looks like a sweet cookie grandma!! I didn't know either of my grandmas but I know I had one cookie grandma and one...well she wasn't a prune...more like a mini skirt and go-go boots grandma! But from what I've heard they were both very unique women. :0) Beautiful LO!
Yay for Cookie Grandmas -- I had one! As for Prune Grandmas - I had one of those too. A HEARTY "bah" on those! This is a fabulous tribute layout to a fabulous Cookie Grandma! The world needs more Grandma Fannys!
Such a beautiful and fitting tribute to Grandma Fanny...love the poem and the story about Çookie Grandma'' hope I will be a cookie grandma hehehe...I'm sure Andrea will be really happy with this addition to her album its a really lovely page.
Oh Karen this is such a loving tribute to someone who obviously was a wonderful grandma. Your friends are so lucky to have you doing this book with your understanding and sensitivity to the nuances of their family. Oh and the crafting here is so pretty - the butterflies especially.
That is so cute! I love the term "cookie grandma," and she looks like a wonderful lady! Beautiful layout design as well, and I love the dark pink border!
This is another page for my friend Andrea's wedding album. The photos are of her sweet Grandma Fanny.
In our family, we had a "cookie grandma" and a "prune grandma." One was sweet and affectionate, the other was crabby and thought prunes were a good snack for kids. Bah! Andrea's Grandma Fanny was most definitely a "cookie grandma" and she was very precious. We wanted to have a page in the wedding album celebrating the life of Grandma Fanny who died just a few months after Andrea and Jim were married. So, here's to the Cookie Grandmas of the world!
I found the poem/essay here at SB.com in the Resources section. Andrea read it and said it is very fitting for her Grandma Fanny.
A Grandma is warm hugs and sweet memories. She remembers all of your accomplishments and forgets all of your mistakes. She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to, and she hopes and prays that all your dreams come true. She always loves you, no matter what. She can see past temper tantrums and bad moods, and makes it clear that they don't affect how precious you are to her. She is an encouraging word and a tender touch. She is full of proud smiles She is the one person in the world who loves you with all her heart, who remembers the child you were and cherishes the person you've become. -author unknown-
